Now don't put all your dreams in one basket.
Don't put all your hope in one heart
Fie if you discover
That she loves another
You'll be licked before you start.

Now don't put all your dreams in one basket.
Love is such a fragile thing
And if you should break it
Are you sure you can take it?
How would your heart forget to sing?

Don't put all your dreams in one basket.
Don't upset your applecart.
She may think she's clever
And leave you forever.
Then what will you tell your heart?

So don't put your dreams in one basket.
Best made plans may go astray
If you play for hard stakes
You might play with heartaches
Never throw your dreams away
Never throw your dreams away.
